It Must Be Hidden


It must be hidden
 
Because it means reality is a construction - 
 
That we are confined within against our will
 
Because if we knew about other realities 
 
We might choose them
 
 
We might build a different and a better society
 
 
We might experience God's will for us
 
 
 
Schools,
 
Governments,
 
Prisons,
 
Wars,
 
Wealth,
 
Traffic,
 
Flight

The Nobel Prize - 
 
 
Smiles don't mean smiles - 
 
 
Tears don't mean tears - 
 
 
Emotions are manufactured - 
 
 
We are all being confined - 
 
 
All are flimsy constructions - 
 
 
We are living and dying for what?
 
 
Ultimately it is a part of nature - 
 
Although to the best of my knowledge animals don't do it - 
 
It is Holy Nature - 
 
 
Confronting it alters you forever
 
 
You step outside all that is-
